There will be more than one lessons that incorporate writing. In this unit, students will be participating in Literature Circle groups to better understand our text, The Iliad. Students will be contributing to their groups by participating in a specific writing role. These four roles include: Summarizer, Word Wizard, Personal Connector, and Discussion leader. 

As this is our first unit using Lit Circle's, students will take the time today to practice writing and participating in each individual role. This will ensure all students are aware of role expectations. Moving forward, students will only take on one role per Book/Chapter within our text. Please reference the resources below. 

This lesson is apart of my 3 consecutive lesson days; as it follows the Intro Lesson and precedes the Collaborative Lesson following.
